UK: Muslim buys trendy hotel, abruptly bans pork and alcohol

Nov 15, 2014 10:47 am By Robert Spencer

Bermondsey-Square-Hotel-London-Hotel-Exterior-1-DEFThe Bermondsey Square Hotel was “previously voted the UK’s trendiest place to stay.” And the thing is, it is still trendy. Nothing is trendier in Britain these days than Sharia compliance. The Bermondsey Square Hotel is on the cutting edge of Britain’s future. Watch for many more hotels in Britain to follow its lead.

“Welcome to Hotel Sharia: No more bacon or booze as trendy venue bought out by a Muslim multi-millionaire,” by Tom Kelly and Emily Kent Smith, Daily Mail, November 15, 2014 (thanks to Kenny):

An exclusive hotel has banned alcohol and pork after being taken over by a Middle Eastern businessman who wants to run it ‘in accordance with Sharia law’.

The strict Islamic policy was imposed without warning this week at London’s Bermondsey Square Hotel – where the bar and grill was previously run by Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace.

Staff said the new rules were swiftly implemented on Tuesday on the orders of the new Muslim owner, forcing waiters to tell disgruntled guests that much of the menu was no longer available.

Diners were denied dishes that used only traces of alcohol – such as beer-battered fish, a pudding with ‘drunken cherries’ and rum ice cream. Drinkers were offered only non-alcoholic beer and elderflower cordial.

Forced to improvise, chefs are now trying to source chicken and beef sausages instead of pork varieties for breakfast and have replaced the popular hog roast with rabbit terrine.

The £220-a-night hotel is believed to be one of the first in the country to introduce the strict Muslim policy but staff say the changes have caused business to plummet, with many reservations cancelled.

Several fear for their jobs unless the hotel – previously voted the UK’s trendiest place to stay and where Gordon Ramsay once filmed a show – is marketed for a different clientele.

An IT consultant, who has been a regular at the hotel, said: ‘A group of us were meant to be meeting in the bar and they said: “We can’t serve alcohol any more.”

‘When I contacted the manager to ask why, he told me that the new owner wanted it to be a Sharia law hotel. Under Sharia law, you can’t make a profit from alcohol.’

The guest said he would no longer book the hotel in future, adding: ‘They’ve got to be careful. It’s been quiet and this is almost the death knell.’

On community website london-se1, a poster called Drgreenmark2 said customers were ‘kicking off’, adding: ‘Who on earth believes a “dry” hotel and restaurant is going to work in central London, never mind Bermondsey square? This is not Saudi Arabia!’…

Not yet, anyway. But it will be very like it before too long.

    If it is his hotel then I guess he can do what he likes with it and will suffer the consequences.

    Though, if he cannot make a profit from selling alcohol, surely they could sell it at cost price……that might get the punters in considering how expensive booze is in London.

    The killer blow for me though would be no bacon or sausage for breakfast…….the pig was made for breakfast.

      Obviously, I hope the place goes bust.
      In the coming weeks the police should be keeping an eye open for young nieces, around puberty, visiting their, possibly permanently resident, uncles.
      The amount of prime English property bought up by muslims is not just depressing, it is frightening.
      Third World, slave owning, savages buying up a First World land, the first country to ban slavery.

      Does anyone here know if the Marriott Hotels generally serve alcohol? l’m wondering because I think that the main owner is a Mormon, and practicing Mormons don’t consume alcohol, and only use it for medicinal purposes. They’re allowed to eat pork and ham, however.

      • Mary says

        Nov 16, 2014 at 4:57 pm

        Yes, Marriot Hotels do serve alcohol, depending on local laws. I stayed at one in Las Vegas and alcohol was served from a bar next to the lobby.

      It’s going to lose a lot of money, But, what if Parliament tries to bail out the hotel with taxpayer money? They may argue that it is necessary to preserve multicultural diversity

    Time for anti-jihadists to stay there I think, when leaving wall paper paste pages of the Bible on the walls, leave raw uncooked pork behind the panels of the bath, so they smell like hell, spill alcohol real neat stuff on the carpets.
    You can take a moral high ground but you will fail, as you see how many churches and left wing organisations have shares in arms company, we can boycott all muslim businesses but we can also break them.
    And how does a muslim become a multi millionaire ? Two ways drug dealing and arms trading, same as the chap who had Harrods, Fayed.

        Diana’s boyfriend (both were killed in the car accident in Paris, in the tunnel after being chased by paparazzi camera people) was Dodi al-Fayed, who was the son of the business tycoon Mohammed al-Fayed, if I got the latter’s name right.

    • Joseph says

      Nov 15, 2014 at 1:01 pm

      How that sonofabitch Choudary is still alive absolutely boggles my mind.

      Is there not, in all of Britain, even one person with 5000 Euros to hand to some soccer hooligan to place “two rounds center mass”?

      • Neil Jennison says

        Nov 15, 2014 at 1:17 pm

        Talk like that dismays me. We in the west differentiate ourselves from other, lesser cultures by the fact we respect the law and the rule of law.

        If Anjem Choudary has broken any laws then it is for the lawful authorities to prosecute him. It is not for people to take the law into their own hands and set up lynch mobs.

        That is not how we in the civilised west operate.

        Everybody is equal before the one law, Muslims included.

          Your comment shows how utterly delusional you are especially because it is obvious that you know ZERO about the subjects of Islam

          Muhammadan Islam is NOT a Religion; it is a CULT belief system; the Cult of Muhammad

          Why do I assert this? Because the god of Muhammad & Islam is NOT God and most assuredly NOT the same as the God of Jesus Moses and Abraham

          If you do NOT believe this Google ‘alrassooli’ and find out if you can collect anything from over $1,500,000 worth of challenges

He doesn’t advocate violence against Muslims, even hateful Muslims, for just the reasons you cited. The goal is to save civilization, not flush it down the toilet any faster than it’s already going. (And anyway, if Choudary became a martyr, that wouldn’t help at all.)

    If you steal a fork do they cut your hand off? If they catch you swigging from your pocket flask do they drag you in back and whip you? Do female clients only get half portions and if they eat with someone not their husband will they be stoned or whipped? Do they execute guests who make off-color remarks about Mohammad? If a female guest can’t pay her bill is she then sold as a sex slave in lieu of washing dishes? Finally, are non-Muslim patrons required to pay an extra gratuity as jizya? Enquiring minds want to know.

      Muslim men are allowed to have sex with other men’s wives providing that they use pig prophet Muhammad’s example.

      1 They kill the husband.
      2 They claim that the woman is no longer married.

      This is why Muslim men hide their wives under bags, so other Muslims won’t be tempted to kill them in order to boink their wives.

    Perhaps he believes that the is will soon completely conquer the world and there will be no living non-muslims not subject to meeting his demands and who need or wish a hotel room. And in the meantime, those muslims who wish to travel there will keep him in business.
    Many *new* businesses fail in the first year because the owners/managers don’t know what they are doing, esp when it comes to making their customers…both internal in the form of employees and external in those who pay…happy.

    … a Middle Eastern businessman who wants to run it ‘in accordance with Sharia law’.

    Is the description “Middle Eastern businessman” polite society’s new name of a Moslem who has made it? Whether he made it by the luck of petrodollars or by working one of Islam’s many traditions of corruption, it’s his money.

    But, given that he’s floating the pomposity that Sharia is a superior form of social comity and a lesson to all Infidels, then he must give it the Full Monty: if a person at the hotel gets caught stealing, he must face Sharia law and maybe lose his hand to a punitive dismemberment; if a girls gives up some out of wedlock, she must face Sharia law too, and be stoned to death (and with small rocks); if a guy is is caught in one of the hotel rooms giving a BJ, they must chop off his head. There’s more, but you get the ideal.

    Sharia doesn’t come in measured doses, it’s either the whole thing or none at all.

      Indeed. There is no reason a hotel should sell pork or alcohol if it doesn’t wish to.

      I have no problem with that. As I have no problem with a Christian Hotel refusing double rooms to homosexuals or cohabiting couples.

      We are supposed to live in free countries in the west.

      Obviously there will be commercial consequences but that is OK.

      Given 5+ % of the UK population is Muslim, if they see a niche market then fine. This isn’t the problem………The problem is not those who call themselves Muslim, the problem is the message and teachings of Islam.

          “”The problem is not those who call themselves Nazis, the problem is the message and teachings of Nazism.””

          Absolutely true. Many people thought it necessary to join the Nazi Party in Germany who were not actually Nazis by belief. One Oscar Schindler springs to mind.

          The people who were “Nazis” were not the problem, the people who acted and believed Nazism were the problem…..and those too afraid to dissent.

          That is an important distinction.

        • Neil Jennison says

          Nov 16, 2014 at 4:10 pm

          We know why some “Muslims” call themselves Muslims without actually believing in the crap that Islam teaches…..fear and peer pressure. And having to live in a community (even in the west in Muslim ghettos like Leicester in the UK) where life will be very hard if not impossible to someone who openly rejects Islam.

          Of course I don’t work for the UK government! I am in pretty broad agreement with what Robert Spencer is doing and with his views.

          I just don’t think the broad abuse of all people who call themselves Muslim is helpful. However, I do think the denying of the truth about Islam and that crap about it being a “religion of peace” is the biggest danger the west faces.

          We need to spread the truth about the doctrines of Islam and that is not best served by childish abuse and calls to smear Muslims who (as far as we know) have committed no crime with pig’s blood. That is just pathetic.

          In any case, we need ordinary western folk to come round to the truth – turning them off by spouting hatred similar to that which Muslims reserve for Jews is hardly likely to help these people see the facts.

          We should respect and love every human being (as Christianity orders us) – we should have sympathy for those who have spent a lifetime of indoctrination by this evil and hate filled religion. We must not be weak on the issue, but this bile is just unhelpful.

        • Know Thy Enemy says

          Nov 16, 2014 at 6:30 pm

          Neil, how do you tell a real Muslim from one who is simply pretending? The distinction is theoretically important but there is no way to practice this theory in order to benefit from it.

          If the Nazis couldn’t tell that Oscar Schindler was simply pretending, how were we going to tell that (while the Nazis were still in power, that is)??

          Similarly, if the real Muslims cannot tell which Muslim is simply pretending, how are we going to tell that?? I know Muslims like the back of my hand, and yet when I talk to them I cannot tell if they are genuine or simply pretending. Nor do I know anyone who can!

          All the responsibility should not be simply ours! The onus is on these pretending-to-be-Muslims to prove that they are not Muslims. (I am only talking about Muslims living in free countries) In this age of internet, it should not be too difficult for them to do so. They have as much to gain from freedom as we do, and they have as much to lose from Islam as we do (Actually they have more to lose)!

          If we give any Muslim a pass because we can’t tell whether or not s/he is genuine, it is OUR long term safety that gets put in danger.

          “We should respect and love every human being (as Christianity orders us) – we should have sympathy for those who have spent a lifetime of indoctrination by this evil and hate filled religion. ”

          Well I am glad you are a great Christian, but if the Muslims become powerful, you will not be getting a chance to have love and sympathy for anyone….. you will be too busy trying to figure out how to stay safe from the thugs and how to keep your family safe.

          There is a difference between those who are suffering because they are brainwashed/insane, and those who simply happen to be going through difficult times. Practicing the virtues of love, kindness, compassion, etc only work on the latter. Practicing these virtues on rabid dogs only results in putting a ‘The End’ to whatever good acts you are capable of doing. And once you are gone, there will be no one showing kindness and compassion to anyone. Even those who could actually benefit from your kindness and compassion will be deprived of it.

          “”Neil, how do you tell a real Muslim from one who is simply pretending? “”

          You cannot. But we in the west have the presumption of innocence. We cannot just abandon that principle.

          “”Well I am glad you are a great Christian, but if the Muslims become powerful, you will not be getting a chance to have love and sympathy for anyone….. “”

          I am not so sure I am a great Christian, I am rather poor at it but I try. Yes absolutely, if Islam becomes powerful what you say is true…….I have no illusions about it…you are correct. But that isn’t a reason for abandoning my Faith. In any case, I do not see my position as a weak one.

          I am not condoning in any way the way our western governments are behaving. I am not in any way condoning the ludicrous things the Pope or other Christian leaders are saying about Islam.

          Islam is evil….Islam teaches evil. This needs saying. It needs shouting from the rooftops. If Muslims object to people saying that then we must robustly disagree…..the fact that Muslims are pushing for this to made illegal is terrifying for freedom and it scares the shit out of me.

          BUT, we must love every human, and we must accept that there are people who for whatever reason, consider themselves as Muslims (probably they are very BAD in Islamic beliefs) who are decent human beings.

          Neil, please tell me this-

          Say you shower your love and sympathy on Muslims, and Muslims take advantage of it and establish themselves at superior social position…. and you are reduced to being a dhimmi, (as Christians of today are in Egypt, the Middle East, and are fast getting to that status in Nigeria)…. and the only time and energy that you have now, you spend it on trying to keep yourself and your family safe. That is, you can no longer shower love and compassion on anyone. So my question is this-

          What do you have to say about all those non-brainwashed people, who could actually benefit from your love and compassion, but who no longer will, because you no longer will be able to offer it to them?

          I think you are missing the point. I have no intention of being weak about it.

          I think we should immediately ban all immigration of Muslims as being incompatible with western democracy.

          I think our politicians should stop lying about Islam being a “religion of peace”.

          I object to the word Islamophobe….doesn’t this word actually mean someone who is “afraid of Islam”……well I bloody am. It terrifies me.

    “customers were ‘kicking off’, adding: ‘Who on earth believes a “dry” hotel and restaurant is going to work in central London, never mind Bermondsey square? This is not Saudi Arabia!”

    Sure sounds like all of Britain is laying down and accepting shariah doesn’t it.

    “Lets see how long it stays in business, few people are going to pay £220 per night to stay somewhere that has a restrictive menu and no alcohol.”

    I agree. Even Muslims won’t pay that kind of money if there is no alcohol!

    But I think jihad3tracker’s nose is on the right trail- the hotel’s gonna be a haven for jihadis!

      Me, I’d rather stay at a cheap inn or hostel for 30-60 British pounds a night (as long as it wasn’t a dive or a roach hotel, and I could consume beer there).

  31. bernie says

    Nov 16, 2014 at 7:48 am

    True that! Imagine if people like Sir Elton John (pop star) or Sir Ian McKellan (actor) tried to go their with their respective, legally-recognized husbands, and got refused service because they’re homosexuals. They could sue the hotel big time.

  32. Richard James says

    Nov 16, 2014 at 11:44 am

    This hotel will probably make a fortune – just think of all the rich turks, arabs, iranians who will hope it’s a very comfortable place to bring children to molest and rape, as we know by their scripture, and by their behavior, from Rotherham to the Islamic State, is their way.

    Islam, the religion where a cool glass of beer is forbidden but raping a child is encouraged.

    Disgusting religion, disgusting people.

    We should not be doing anything with Muslims whatsoever.
    #1 Reazon:-
    It is against Biblical / Christian principles i.e. it is SIN to aid and abet those who propagate false doctrine .
    2John 1:7-11
    7) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
    8) Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
    9) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
    10) If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
    11) For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

    Verse 11 makes it quite clear that just inviting a muslim into your house or wishing him well means that you condone the evil deeds inspired by allah, and you become a partaker of their beheadings and rapes etc.

    So Christians in particular cannot buy or sell or do anything else with Muslims, apart from feed them if they are starving to death, or cloth them if they are naked, and have genuine concern for their well being as human beings and for their eternal destiny. BUT NO ASSISTANCE OF ANY KIND IF IT MEANS THAT YOU ARE IMPLICATED IN THEIR EVIL DEEDS.

    #2 Reazon:-
    For Conscience Sake.
    How can we stomach doing ANY business whatsoever with people who are obviously satanic cultists, who openly worship Satan pretending to be God who demands ritual human sacrifice, brutal murder, raping and enslaving ,etc,etc. Hundreds of on-going victims daily around the world.
    And they try to force you to submit to their law and eat meat that has been sacrificed to allah the devil.

    There are laws that prevent us from banning Islamic infidels from our shops, but there is NO LAW FORCING YOU TO BUY FROM MUSLIMS.

    Any and every time you have the slightest doubt whether the owner or the workers in a business are Muslims, ASK THEM IF THEY OR THE OWNER OF THE BUSINESS IS A MUSLIM.
    ***It is against your religion and or your conscience to buy from Muslims because ….. and of course you couldn’t possibly eat halal because it is spiritually unclean . It has been sacrificed to allah the most proud one, the greatest deciever, the bringer of death.
    Great opportunity to make a scene . We are well within our rights as consumers to choose from who and what we will buy.
    It’s a spiritual and emotional hygiene issue as well as social,political,and economic warfare.

    It won’t be long before every hotel, restaurant and pub follows suit. The U.K. is cocooned in its own Never-Land ideology – appeasement of Islam no matter the price. It doesn’t matter which political bent is in power, they are all the same when it comes to placating Islam, the shiftless and interlopers.

  36. Uncle Vladdi says

    Nov 16, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    The funniest part of this is that the Qur’an and sharia DON’T ban “alcohol” (thus proving ancient Arabs had absolutely NO understanding of it, despite coining the term)!

    SHARIA ONLY BANS CERTAIN TYPES OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (wine, fermented prone juice and fermented mares’ milk) but NOT ALL “ALCOHOL,” and since islam operates on the brazen rule of criminal chaos, where all is allowed except for that which is very clearly and specifically disallowed, all excluded forms of alcoholic drinks (like vodka or potato booze, because Muhammad didn’t specifically mention it) ARE ALLOWED!

    In the most authoritative original (Hanifite) sharia text, The Hedaya, (Volume 4, Book 46; LIQUORS; p. # 159) it is asserted:

    “There are four prohibited liquors. I. Khamr, (the crude juice of the grape,) and “KHAMR is produced from two trees, namely, the VINE and the DATE.” The term Khamr, moreover, is derived from Mokhamira, signifying, stupefaction, or deprivation of sense, which is a consequence of drinking any inebriating liquor. — In reply to this, however, Haneefa argues that the term Khamr, according to the concurrent opinion of all lexicographers, is used only in the sense above mentioned, whence it is that to liquors of other descriptions other terms are applied, such as Nabeez, Tabeekh, and Mosillis. Another argument is that the illegality of Khamr is indubitable, whence, if every inebriating liquor were Khamr, all such would of course be likewise indubitably illegal, — whereas this is not the case, for there is a doubt regarding them.”

    II. Bazik, (the boiled juice of the grape,) termed (when boiled away to one half) Monissaf.

    THUS much with respect to Khamr, the first in order of prohibited liquors. — The second species of prohibited liquor, is the juice of grapes boiled until a quantity less than two thirds evaporate. This is denominated Bazik. It is also termed Monissaf; but that is only where exactly one half of it evaporates in boiling. This kind of liquor is unlawful, according to all our doctors; — according to the two disciples, when it only ferments and becomes spirituous; — and according to Haneefa, when it foams and settles. Oozrai has said that Monissaf is lawful; (and several of the tribe of Mutazali have seconded this opinion;) because it is a good liquor, or, in other words, is pleasing to the palate; and also, because it is not Khamr. The argument of our doctors is, that as Monissaf is pure, and equally delicious with Khamr, a number of the idle and dissolute are consequently tempted to drink it; and it is therefore prohibited, with a view to prevent that dissipation which it is found to occasion.

    I.E: SHERRY!

    😉

    III. Sikker (an infusion of dates.)

    THE third species of unlawful liquor is termed Sikkir; and is made by steeping fresh dates in water until they take effect in sweetening it; when it is both unlawful and abominable to drink of it. Shareek-Ibn-Abdoola alleges that it is lawful, as GOD, speaking of his bounty in the KORAN, says “YE ENJOY Sikker FROM THE GRAPE AND THE DATE;” whence we may infer that it is allowable, as bounty cannot apply to any thing unlawful. The argument of our doctors is the concurrent opinion of all the companions upon this point; and with respect to the text above cited, it has a reference to a particular period, having been revealed in the infancy of the religion of Islam, when all sorts of spirituous liquors were lawful.

    IN OTHER WORDS ‘GOD’ ABROGATED HIMSELF COMPLETELY AGAIN! HOW ‘PERFECT’ OF HIM!

    😉

    IV. Nookoo Zabeeb, (an infusion of raisins.)

    THE fourth species of prohibited liquors is Nookoo-Zabeeb*, that is, water in which raisins are steeped until it become sweet, and is affected in its substance. This kind is, however, lawful when merely it possesses a sweet quality; — and is prohibited only when it ferments and becomes spirituous. Oozrai is of a different opinion regarding this liquor likewise.

    The three last are not so illegal as Khamr. – They may be held
    legal, without incurring a charge of infidelity, and may be
    drank (so as not to intoxicate) without punishment.

    IT is to be observed that the illegality of these liquors, namely, Bazik, Monissaf, and the Nookoo of dates and raisins, is inferior to that of Khamr. If, therefore, any person hold these lawful, still he is not deemed an infidel. It is otherwise in the case of Khamr; for, with respect to the liquors here mentioned, the illegality is a mere matter of opinion; whereas, with regard to Khamr, the illegality is undisputed.

    THUS PROVING THAT ONLY THE SPECIFICS ARE FORBIDDEN.

    ;-|

    Punishment, moreover, is not inflicted for drinking these liquors, except in a quantity sufficient to produce intoxication; whereas the drinking of one drop only of Khamr induces punishment. The filth of these liquors, likewise, according to one tradition, is of a slight degree, and according to another, of a extreme degree; but the filth of Khamr is of an extreme degree, according to every tradition.”

    PROVING THEY DIDN’T KNOW ALCOHOL IS BACTERIA WASTE.

    ;-|

    “They may also be sold; and are a subject of responsibility.”

    NOTE: IN SHARIA, MUSLIMS MAY ALSO PROFIT BY SELLING PORK AND ALCOHOL TO INFIDELS, SO I HOPE THIS TARD’S RASH DECISION LEADS TO HIS BANKRUPTCY!
